Prince to Play Two Shows at the Roseland

On April 21. Let it rain!

This snuck up on us over the weekend: Prince will play two shows at the Roseland on April 21! The Roseland! Meaning just you, the Artist, and a measly 1000 others. That’s akin to sharing a bathroom stall or stretch limo in the untouchable world of the velvet-clad man of mystery.

Sadly, tickets are already sold out for the 8 pm show. We checked with the Roseland, and about 100 tickets in the reserved seats are left for the 11:30 pm show. This will be the stuff of legends, but it will cost you more than a decent purple suit of your own: $300. Is it worth it? Probably, especially if he plays through to dawn.

Seeing as how he has a couple nights off around his Portland stop and is only playing one night here, perhaps we can pray to the purple god that he might add a second...
